Try again - it's always the squeaky wheel that gets the grease (or veg oil in this case!) :lol:

I spoke to a rep from caldo oils who are registered on the rix site as resellers I think. I deal with the bloke when im in work anyway. He reckoned even in bulk the bio diesel would still work out more expensive than the normal pump stuff :(

--- Quote ---Biodiesel refers to diesel-equivalent biofuel usually made from vegetable oils or animal fats. Several different kinds of fuels are biodiesel: usually biodiesel refers to an ester, or an oxygenate, made from the oil and methanol, but alkane (non-oxygenate) biodiesel, that is, biomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuel is also available. Sometimes even unrefined vegetable oil is incorrectly called "biodiesel". Unlike unrefined vegetable oil, biodiesel does not require fuel pre-heating and filtration due to issues with coagulation, and also require no or minimal modification to the fuel system. Alkane biodiesel is of a similar viscosity to petrochemical diesel, and is usually of a higher quality than petrochemical options available on the U.S. market.
